Dr. Topaloglu graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey, and completed his Pediatrics training at Istanbul Zeynep Kamil Children's Hospital. He then pursued further training in Pediatric Endocrinology at Loyola University of Chicago and a postdoctoral fellowship in Molecular Genetics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. His research has focused on the regulation of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis, specifically what triggers puberty, which remains a mystery to this day. Along with his colleagues, he discovered the crucial role of neurokinin B and its receptor in human puberty, which helped identify the GnRH pulse generator as the Kisspeptin (KNDy) neurons of the hypothalamus in the brain. His ultimate goal is to achieve a complete understanding of the stimuli that initiate the pubertal process, as well as the underlying mechanisms responsible for delayed and absent puberty in adolescents. 

Dr. Vakharia completed a medicine-pediatrics residency at Brown and a joint medicine-pediatrics endocrinology fellowship at MGH. As a fellow, she founded the MGH Diabetes Collaborative Care Clinic for Young Adults which she continues to lead. Her research focuses on qualitative assessment of novel clinical models to improve the care of patients with diabetes and other endocrine disorders. She has given numerous national presentations on transitions of care for adolescents and young adults with endocrine disorders.
